New trend??

This year, my crew has made this call in three different games. Linebackers
are cutting pulling lineman below their knees. The linebackers were in the free blocking zone, but clearly not on the line of scrimmage when the ball was snapped. In all three instances the coaches were insisting that the linebackers could do this because they were in the free blocking zone when doing the block below the waist.

Anyone else seeing this? It appears to me that some coaches are teaching their linebackers to do this.
